Biohazardous Waste. â refers to waste (e.g. body fluids or tissues) which has the risk of carrying human pathogens. Biohazardous Waste is usually generated at health care facilities or research facilities, and the term is used interchangeably with Medical Waste. â is the term OSHA uses to describe blood and body fluids and âOPIMâ (other potentially infectious material) as defined in the Bloodborne Pathogens regulation (BBP).
Some of the items in this category, such as batteries, light bulbs and pesticides, are also considered universal waste. Non-hazardous waste Non-hazardous wastes, which comprise the other category of solid waste, are solid wastes that do not meet the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and are not subject to RCRA Subtitle C regulations. However, it is not safe to assume that waste classified as non-hazardous poses no risk.
